I wish I saw this topic sooner.
I'm sure someones pointed out that they didn't mean anything in regards to their DPS output right? It was a poorly constructed way of saying that they're all going to have more direct healing, rather than shield healing or what have you. Like everyone gets shields but everyone can just blast some HP at you too.

If you think there's any excuse to not attempt to DPS during downtime, you need to re-learn your ABCs!
